Wow I'm surprised HAIR was PG. I went to 5th grade the next day and told everyone how cool drugs and hippies are. I think that makes my first R-rated feature An Officer and a Gentleman. Mom wanted to see it. I can't believe at 13 years of age I was still so dense I thought they were just having a horizontal conversation during the sex scene.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Stir Crazy.

Back to Indy- Am I the only one who didn't know there are real crystal skulls? Of course they're not like the ones in the movie but the mythos are as similar as the Ark of the Covenant was to Raiders and the Grail legends were to Last Crusade (though I've watched Temple a few times I always forget just what it's about).

The plot of Temple of Doom is about Indy needing to recover Shiva's junk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, now I'm trying to remember what my first rated R movie WAS.

Hair being PG was just ridiculous. It had skinny dipping, swearing, sexual language ("Sodomy" led me to look up several words in the dictionary), and loads of stuff that would immediately give it an R rating today. That PG rating is probably the reason Dad thought it would be safe to take my sister and me to see it after we begged him.
My first R film was The Blues Brothers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My first R-rated movie was Cocktail, but I saw it on VHS. No clue what my first in-theatre R was.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Am I the only one who didn't know there are real crystal skulls?
Nope. I didn't find out until after seeing the movie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Huh. SatC had a bigger opening weekend than Indy.
